The Gelatin Challenge – Lime

Written by on 05.10.2010 | Reviews

Jello (J) vs. Great Value (GV) (the Wal-mart house brand)

J: lime: appropriate consistency: Again, J achieves a smooth flavor from when it first hits the tongue. Sweet, only mildly tart, fresh lime flavor. Eventually, though, (about 4th spoon) some bitter creeps in, a bit like the pith.

Color is a light green; something close to a fresh mint.

GV: lime: appropriate consistency: GV has a stronger flavor, but not as close to a lime as J gets. Less sweet, with a bit more tart. It’s lime-like… close enough, I guess.

Color is a dark clear green; perhaps a forest green or midnight green if there were such a color.

The Gelatin Challenge: Orange

Written by on 03.10.2010 | Reviews

Jello (J) vs. Great Value (GV) (Wal-mart house brand)

J: orange: appropriate consistency: smooth flavor, orange, almost a touch mild, but consistent and lasting through each spoon. Sweet, almost candy-like; just can’t place the flavor.

Color is a shade light of orange.

GV: orange: appropriate consistency: variable flavor, near empty to a slightly chalky, tart orange reminicent of Vitamin C chewables. The tart is late to the taste, and subsides moderately (quicker than J, but not abruptly). Tart, akin to the spray of an orange peel bent backwards, but not as robust: a 2D projection of that 3D flavor.

Color is a shade dark of orange.

Excellent Pizza in Orlando

Written by on 24.11.2009 | Restaurants

My favorite place for pizza in Orlando is Rico’s Pizza. It’s what comes closest to what I enjoy for pizza.

Rico’s is worth the trip to the south end.

A close second is House of Pizza, across from Gatorland.

While I have enjoyed Pizzeria Valdiano and Mellow Mushroom, Rico’s is tops. Though, in all honesty, Mellow Mushroom has no competitor, as it’s in a different category: gourmet non-traditional wacky-neat-flavor pizzas.

Kudos do go out to Pizza City in Kissimmee. That is good pizza.
